web-browser uzbl

Sun Feb 01, 2015 3:12 am

firefox is using way too much Ram (on gentoo, i don't recall such when i used iceweasel on Debian).
I got 800MB for apps, and it uses up to 600 (On Debian i iceweasel used ca 300 MB, iircc).

Short: I switched to uzbl
It works well as far RAM is concerned.
Else i got hard times with it.

I found adblock.js , which doesn block all ads.
I need a way to handle scripts (noscript) and cookies (cookiemonster).
I don't even know where they are stored (cookies).

Anyone has some easy tips as far uzbl is concerned?

I already tried other web-browser. I don't like them. No need to mention them.

Hi,
I made a page some while ago, summing up the research and effort I made to get uzbl working. info online is not easy to come by - however there might have been some dev since i last looked.
its here

I found scripts hard to implement, and so i still revert to chromium as it does jobs i need and it loads pages faster - and plus you need to memorize keybd shortcuts with uzbl, so a month away from the PC and I've forgotten them.
